Synopsis
Walter Sickert (1860-1942), a British painter, is famous for his depictions of the music hall, its artistes, audience and elaborate interiors and also for his views of Venice and Dieppe. Long regarded as simply a follower of the Impressionists, he has now come to be seen to have strong affinities with a wide range of artists from Hogarth to Keene, from 19th-century German illustrators to Rouault and Munch. He embraced formal portraiture and idyllic landscape, controversial domestic scenes (such as "Camden Town Murder"), and portrayals of public figures, the canals of Venice, the old streets of Dieppe and contemporary scenes of England in the 1930s. This publication is to coincide with, and serve as the catalogue of, a retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy from November 1992 to February 1993.

Merrett "kirstykb" (uk) - See all my reviews    this book is like a catalogue of the artists work, it explores his work right through his life showing large pictures of many of hs work. it explores the techniques and inspirations of the artist. it mansges to be informative not only on a aethetic level but also the writting that goes with it is through and packed with knowlegde and passion for the artists work. this boook is really the only book u would even need to own of the artist. no other book i have read about sicket is even comparable to this. its full of illustrations informaton but it also inspires other artists to explore the clour ranges and fluid marks that sicket managed to capture in his work.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
